A leading Islamic seminary has condemned ban on use of veil by Muslim women in some European countries.
Deputy Vice Chancellor of Darul Uloom Deoband Maulana Abdul Khalique Madrasi has condemned the European countries,especially Belgium,for the law curbing Muslim women to wear veil.
“The act is undemocratic and against secularism. Some anti-Islamic forces are trying to curb the religious freedom of Muslims in these countries,” he alleged.
Belgium’s lower house of Parliament on Thursday banned burqa-type Islamic dress in public. The law is yet to be passed by the Senate.
In January,Denmark’s center-right government called the ‘burqa’ and the ‘niqab’ out of step with Danish values.
France also banned Muslim head scarves from schools in 2004.
